In 2012 Alwyn and Pieter Dippenaar bought Melkbosrant and have since renamed this farm Grand View Grape Farms. At the time the farm had 33ha under production. Since then the vineyards have been expanded by a further 17ha. Varieties include Prime, Flame, Ivory™, Thompson Seedless, Timco™, Allison™, Sugar Crisp™ & Navsel one (G5)”

A new pack house was built in 2013 that has a daily packing capacity of 10 000 cartons. The pack house was fitted with the MARCO packing technology in 2016.
